10:10 pm
now, i recognize that this is a moment of transition. as we transition from one congress to the next. from one majority to the next. from a year of accomplishments, a year of accomplishments to a year of ambiguity, a moment of transition. the american people understandably after the events of this week recognize that the congress is at a fork in the road. and are asking the question, what direction will we choose? on this thursday, i do not pretend to answer that question. on behalf of my colleagues on
10:11 pm
the other side. of the aisle. but we do extend our hand of partnership, to you, and want to make clear that we and stand, and intent, to try to find common ground. whenever and wherever possible on behalf of the american people! [applause] not as democrats, not as republicans, not as independents, but as americans!

10:23 pm
competition. [applause] >> speaking of committees, we will hold the swamp accountable. from the withdrawal of afghanistan, to the origins of covid, to the weaponization of the fbi.

[applause] >> i've walked those streets my entire life. i know it's people. they're hardworking and relentless and optimistic about our future. and i am very honored to have the opportunity to represent them. i am the son of a firefighter. i saw firsthand the millions -- of hard work, leadership in service to others >> -- and how can change peoples lives. and that is exactly why we are here today. to serve you the people. >> we come here with the support of our families and -- to be the voice in washington. for all the wives and husbands,
10:29 pm
children's and parents that are watching. a loved one being sworn in. i know it took a couple extra days. i'll be honest, it's not how i planned. i want you to remember this moment. take it in. your loved ones are about to make history. my colleagues and i thank you for your understanding and your sacrifice. and we will work every day to make you proud. my most -- is not in the chamber. it's in this chamber we met before, the -- hall. to take people on tour. -- a one term congressman sat in
10:30 pm
the back. i like to go to that spot and i like to stand where he stood. i like to look over and look at the clock. because that is the same clock in same view that abraham lincoln saw. as i've watched lincoln served in the greatest challenge to the civil war. -- and put them together. i've watched at a time but he did not know if the nation could sustain itself. but he dreamt of a future and built a railroad across the nation. i want us to all take a moment -- and stand there. i want you to look and i want you to think, if america could
10:31 pm
do it then, we could do it now one more time. [applause] >> abraham lincoln gave his life in service to this country. one of his most important observations about america applies today. as much as it did 160 years ago. he said we are striving to maintain with -- and to transmit them to our children and our children's children forever. my fellow americans, that is
10:32 pm
still our mission today. this moment calls for restoring trust within our country and with each other. in that spirit i will work with anyone and everyone who shares our passion to deliver a better future for the nation. i hope you will join me. as a congress, we can only operate if we cooperate. my door will be open. i'd like you to come by. i want you to see, as you walk down the hall, a large portrait of lincoln. i want you to go into that conference room and i want you to see another portrait. my members know this. it's of washington crossing the delaware. you all know the story.
10:33 pm
it happened on christmas, 1776. there was no iphone to take a picture. people wonder when it was painted. it was not painted by someone who was there it was painted in 1815 1851. he wasn't immigrant who lived in america -- you know why he painted it? because he knew america was more than a country, america was an idea. he went home to germany and he wanted germany to have a revolution based upon the values and freedoms that we defend every day his talent was art so he believes he painted this painting he could inspire his countryman to rise up for the ideas of freedom many
10:34 pm
historians will tell you he did not get a correct they'll tell you washington crossing on a durham vote but he paints it with washington in a row bow. you see, 13 people but only 12 faces. you see, washington standing up in a row bow in the middle of winter wearing a ceremonial uniform with his hand on his chest. he looks so stoic. you look at that man he would say, i fall him anywhere. you probably believe that he never lost a battle. but history would tell us that that moment, at that time, he had only lost. we have never won. uc, that was the night of our first victory as a nation when we surprise the -- but when you look at that painting, don't look at washington. i want you to look at who is in the boat. you see, the second role in the
10:35 pm
beret, he scottish. the person directly crossed him in the green growing in the exact same cadence, as an african american. you come down right to the middle in the red. the person who was rowing the strongest is a woman. and in the very back, is a native american. i don't know from her historic fact that they were on the boat that night. but to this young immigrant who had lived in america, that's who he believed would be in the boat. the second to last person is a farmer. he could be from bakersfield, i'm not sure. his hand grows across his face. people would debate this part. but what i see is the hand of the 13th person no one sees. what i believe a manual is saying is, here we are,
10:36 pm
battling for the creation of the idea of freedom. that every individual is equal. not a perfect nation, but striving to be a more perfect union. having lost every battle against the greatest challenge with the strongest nation, having lost them all. but willing to do it on our holiest of nights with the hand reached out and asking if you would join us. that's as true today as it was then. if we let everybody on the boat, if we road in the same cadence together, there is no obstacle this body can overcome for this nation. [applause]
10:37 pm
>> it is time for us to be the voice and worthy of their vote. let me close with this. i may not know all of you, some of you are new. but i hope one thing is clear after this week. i never give up. [applause] >> i make this promise. i will never give up for you, the american people.
10:38 pm
and i will never give up on keeping our commitment to america. our nation is worth fighting for. our rights are worth fighting, for our dreams are worth fighting for. our future is worth fighting for. [applause] >> therefore, with a love for this country, and charity for each other, let us now take our oath and be worthy of the office on which we are about to enter. god bless everybody in this chamber. and god bless america. [applause] >> not so fast. i have to get sworn in first. sit down.
10:39 pm
i am now ready to take the oath of office. i want to ask the dean of the house, the honorable how rodgers of kentucky. one of my first mentors to administer the oath of the office. [applause] >> first, we want to offer a bipartisan congratulations to the gentleman from california. [applause] >> now will the speaker designate raise his right hand? do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies,
10:40 pm
foreign and domestic? that you will bear true faith and allegiance -- that you take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose -- and that you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office of which you are about to enter. so help you god. >> yes i do. >> congratulations and godspeed! [applause] >> thank you. >> -- the chair both wherein the members elect in mass. the member elects will rise. the chair will not -- will now administer the oath of office. all member elects will raise
10:41 pm
their white -- right hand. do you solemnly -- swear and affirm that you will support and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies foreign and domestic? but you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. that you take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion. and that you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which you are about to enter so help you god? >> i do. >> congratulations. you are now members of the 118th -- [applause]
10:42 pm
>> 35 congresspeople sworn in. c-span cameras on george santos. >> we can confirm george santos was actually sworn in as a member of congress, something that he put out in a press release on monday, which was not true. it's done. it's definitely you and i met each other in the halls a few hours ago when we're not sure if it was gonna happen tonight. >> now is he's doing he's not doing the rose package tonight so you might have to adjourn. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman from new york. >> it's my humble honor to be the first to address you from the floor of the people's house as mister speaker.
10:43 pm
[applause] >> mister speaker as chair as the republican conference i'm directed by that conference to notify the house officially the of the republican members have selected as majority leader, the gentleman from -- mr. steve scalise. [applause] >> the chair recognizes the gentleman from california, mr. aguilar. >> mister speaker, as the chair of the democratic caucus, i've been directed to report the house of the democratic members have selected as my morally leader, the gentleman from new york, mr. hakeem jeffries. [applause]
10:44 pm
>> the chair recognizes the gentleman from new york -- >> mister speaker, as chair of the republican conference, i am directed by that conference to notify the house officially the republican members have selected as majority -- vaginal from from minnesota, mr. tom amr. [applause] >> the chair recognizes the gentleman from california, mr. aguilar -- -- i'm curious of whether hockey jeffrey speech was written by lin --
10:45 pm
manual -- it's only dawning on some people that he went through the entire alphabet. >> you and i did not realize it and then we got the w it was extraordinary. but i will say, he did have all week to prepare. >> that's a good point. i was texting with another congress person who confirmed to me there was no teleprompter, -- >> it was a wild speech. simone sanders is with us. simone, by the way, in the week that hakeem jeffries may have been preparing the speech a lot was going on we had an unemployment number today that was strong -- we had the president of the united states hobnobbing around with mitch mcconnell talking about bridges this week. in something that looked like a snap to the house -- >> republicans and democrats talk about things getting done it was a very different week outside of the house. >> absolutely. you saw president biden do what he has been saying he was going
10:46 pm
to do. he's been saying that he is going to go out there vote for the american people they're going to and then he's gonna get on the road and demonstrate to people what this legislation means to them -- the bridge in kentucky, for anyone who does not know, that particular bridge -- it has kentuckians, it has alliance. it's probably one of the most -- bridges in the east coast. the one people that could bring all the people together. that bridge is just one example of many infrastructure projects that are now going to be fixed and rehabbed, if you will, due to money from the infrastructure bill that has passed. i think is very important and critical -- this entire week is something we're going to see -- we are going to sue the house and chaos due to the extremist republican members that have been empowered by now, speaker mccarthy. and you are going to see the white house in the senate try to go forward and do some of -- the extremism that took over
10:47 pm
this week in the house of representatives -- that was wildly rejected at the ballot boxes. it's not what the american people want frankly, i don't think it's what the majority of republicans who are elected leaders -- they want to be able to get things done. i think the last point i want to make is about the historic moment we just witnessed. the speech from the democratic leader, hakeem jeffries. he's the first black person of any political party to lead a caucus. to lead either in the house or the senate. a story only possible in the united states of america. he talked about what democrats were four and his story. he made clear that under his leadership that he work with republicans. but also he made clear what they would not compromise on. and then you have the speech from speaker mccarthy who came out and it was an important moment for him, personally. a combination of his career.
10:48 pm
it was not as inspiring, but i was very struck by the point he made about wanting to get to work for the american people. and the things he lifted off that they would do were about investigating the origin of covid-19. he talked about specifically looking into what happened with the pull out from afghanistan. again, not things that were on the minds of voters. >> i was >> i was surprised at the red surprised at the red meat meat he threw that he threw to two conspiracy conspiracy theorist, theories particularly with particularly with the covid the covid stuff. stuff. after after the week he had, the week he's had, i would almost think i you'd want to give a middle almost thought about giving finger to them. a middle finger to him, but but he threw them some he gave red me. >> them some red meat. >> how about john allen? john allen has been waiting for hours to join us, he is with us, now john, your take away. here we are, 1:47 a.m.. >> well, republicans are messy staff and i will continue to get messier. the republicans were spots that have a rules package, they were told to do that tonight, they are gonna wait until monday to do it because they don't have the votes.
10:49 pm
and also mccarthy will make it more difficult for congress to raise the debt ceiling's. they want to make sure that america pay its debts, and make it extraordinary difficult to keep the government open and we've got them talking, i've got norman talking this week. talking about whether mccarthy would like to shut the government down. it's in the criteria, the willingness to do it if he's gonna vote for him. it's a messy republican, still stands, but this house may be the incentives and called his right now for the next two years. we saw earlier tonight, one in the left, or, another and that wasn't alabama going after matt gates, i've been told by a source familiar that rodgers was angry that gates was in the armed services committee gamble. and i don't think that's gonna be the most fiery that we've seen members on the floor in this congress.
10:50 pm
and americans having that divide. >> if they can agree on the rules for a vote package tonight, what happens if they don't have the votes on monday? >> i was texting with a moderate democratic member who thought that the rules package that we are going to see when the details come out this morning is absolutely crazy, and that there are republicans that can be worked on. as i said, i'm a little bit skeptical that there are, i think there are plenty of crazier republicans on the right in the weeks and months ahead. are there five moderate republicans that would break with the new speaker on his first vote? i don't think that they're big enough for that, but i say that the details are the rules package, so who knows what specific injections that they might have in that vote on monday. i thought it was interesting, it's something that ali was saying about the candidates, in the first speech as speaker mccarthy, was that he dabbled
10:51 pm
in some of the conspiracism, any dabbled a little bit in the conspiracism. but i don't know, i listen to republican speeches all fall on the campaign trail, and there was a lot more then maga nationalism. and the votes that we saw, i think 90% of speaker mccarthy's first speech could have been mitt romney's 2012 convention. and i think that that shows how uncomfortable he is with his conference and why they were doing this at two a.m. on a weekend. instead of having done this on tuesday. is that, he is not comfortable with where the party has gone. and he's trying to navigate this, even with his speeches, by being his natural self. a chamber of congress republican, and dabbling in, and moving on with a discomfort of some of the more conspiratorial maga stuff that is going to appeal in the dynamic and rising part of the republican congress. >> he said in his speech, simone, he said that i never give up. based on the information i want,
10:52 pm
given that, i want to know what he gave up? i want to know what he actually gave up to not give up his bid for speakership, he kept on giving more stuff up and we do not know. we may found out with the rules package, but we don't know what it is. we don't know what he traded to get all these votes. and what they need to come around. >> yeah, there is a verse in the bible, that says, what is it caused the man to gain the whole world and lose his soul. i think that's actually a classic, kevin mccarthy here. we don't know what he gave up, but i think that we should bold underline, and i want to say what they just, said the fact that speaker mccarthy is not comfortable with where the party has gone. but he's willing to traffic in the depths and the sales of the most terrible parts of the republican party apparatus. because it will give him the hold on to power. so i think that that is the dynamic that a lot of republicans out there, they're not comfortable, but they go along with it. and what a number of those across the country and said, you have to stand up for, something and what we are about
10:53 pm
to witness, in the house of representatives, you are going to see people who are willing to equate themselves into a pretzel for things that they say that they don't necessarily believe in, all for power. a number of these folks voted to go with donald trump on the big lie about the election. a number of these individuals supported and upheld and believe the insurrectionists. a number of these individuals have by alex against their fellow members of congress. these are the people that kevin mccarthy has just empowered with the speakership. make no mistake, there is no watering this down. there is now, looks like matt gates, and it's a good guy who can work on with some things. we sat here and talked about the fact that he was -- for social activity. so we really need to understand what is down here. >> but that's also while they
10:54 pm
are in office. remember, those who are willing to go the farthest in this last election. kari lake, mehmet oz, doug mastriano. and where are they now today? sitting at the couch's at home. because the american people would not stand to vote them in. john allen, isn't that a consideration as we go forward? remembering where the american people are. and what voters want? >> you would think that lauren boebert would've been a great example of that. someone who learned -- almost lost her seat. and learning from that. maybe she might not want to go so extreme. but some people don't understand if they put their hand on the stove it is going to burn. some people have to put their hand on the stove to feel the burn, and then withdraw it. and you have lauren boebert and these other holdouts who would sit the republican party on that snow for the last few days. they've not learned the lesson of not being too extreme. we will see what happens with this house as they try to put together an agenda, and they try to oppose joe biden, but i
